this bike is six different bikes
the frame was found in one
cellar belongs to a bike of the years
50 the brakes arrive from another bici the
wheels arrive from the collection center
waste off the saddle from a bike
accident and the only piece you are
saved in addition to the driver
fortunately the handlebar is a gift from
a former cycling champion who has today
80 years old inner tubes are new tires
when our bikes do not need us
the more they are broken we can take them in one
collection center where they will come
Dispose of as a railway or donate
to the cooperative that deals with the
reuse center where disassembled and
they live by living them
we are talking about repair and reuse
nothing exceptional at the bottom of
a few years the lm cartour fondation
above all, he gave a name to a series
of actions that have something in common
with the construction of this bike
frankestein circular economy for which
why it is because it is for us
It is important to start thinking in
these terms
normally the objects we use
every day they are designed according to one
linear scheme
we take the raw material the
we transform to build something that
when we will not need it anymore
will go to disposal in the scheme
circular economy instead
we continue to build our objects
always using the same stock as
resources
the premise of the linear economy that the
resources are endless cheap yes
it is revealed false
objects are designed to break
and the market is made up of individuals
like me
always looking for the latest model of
mobile, however, is more green, not
it works we can not recover
all 4 billion tons of
waste that we produce every year ea
give it new life with the economy
circular instead changes everything because ad
example we begin to focus
the focus more on the use than on the
properties we think of cars
what happens if instead they are used by
10 or 12 different users
then we will need less cars
and also changes the way in which the
I choose, for example, I feel a lot
cool when with car sharing I can
choose the type of car each time
what I need at that moment and this
applies to the car applies to the bike applies
for many other objects
what is therefore the circular economy is
an image that allows us to establish
new connections between the products i
services and people that of reuse and
of repair is a model of
interesting business
the reuse centers for me are not i
places of bad luck
where are you going to buy old stuff at low
price
they are rather the places where the objects are
they have new value
the real places of bad luck for me
the cellars are the drawers cabinets where
we amaze the objects we do not use anymore
those objects are worthless
because they no longer serve anyone good
part of objects we use every
day can be repaired however the
repair costs for this in sweden
they have halved the VAT on repairs
and objects can be built
better to be repaired for which
reason it is so difficult to replace the
hard drive of a computer with a new one
more powerful the many appliances
other goods can be reconditioned
for example caterpillar withdraws the means of
earth movement replaces the parts
worn checks on the functioning of the
more resistant parts sell them in half
price with the same guarantee as the new one
then there is the model of the supply chain
Circular we produce all of us
we produce scraps in the kitchen that
currently go to landfill or
they become gas and dirt
but we transform a part into it
bioplastic which becomes packaging for
our distribution system and then
these packagings reached the end of life
they become feed for our animals
bio-plastic kitchen waste
animal feed packaging
breeding food production scraps of
kitchen and so on to infinity
or another model is that of the
product as a service for what reason
we have to buy light bulbs every time
chandeliers
all we need to illuminate
when we can enter into a contract
with a company that installs the system
is that it remains proprietary in the moment
in which something breaks it will send a
employee repairing or replacing e
interest of the supplier in that case that
the goods that it provides us are durable
recyclable reusable and al
energy saving so much the share that
we pay the same every month
as it already happens at the airport of
schiphol in holland
and then there are the platforms of
sharing car sharing the bike
sharing then that is an old model, the
libraries at the bottom are of the
book sharing platforms
there are also very simple examples if
for example a bologna ice cream parlor that
sells loose ice cream in jars
of glass when you have to reacquire it
return the glass jar to you
they discount loyalty and do not use
plastic or a shoe manufacturer
Marche that uses the pieces
advanced to larger companies
the theoreticians of the circular economy in
this case is about companies
symbiotic and there is a wedge company
which produces sandblasting material
from hazelnuts because they are scabrous
wedge hazelnuts gianduiotti sandblasting e
so on
be clear any production process
produces waste
however in a circular system i
slag is a challenge to intelligence
of each of us we have glimpsed what
it means circular economy to focus
the focus more on the relationship between them
parts that on the product
we think about building
if all the buildings were removable
and re-usable re-usable parts
elsewhere as a giant read
yet some what happened with
the stadium of the alps disassembled e
reassembled to create the new states
we have the intelligence to do it we have
the technologies to do it and in 2015
the European Union has declared that it wants to
become a circular economy system
by 2035
we’ll make it
much depends on the foresight of the
executive classes is a bit also depends
from us
each of us can start thinking
in terms of duration
reuse of use instead of possession
we take these jeans I took them in
leasing pay 7 euros and 50 per month for one
year
and when I do not need them anymore
I will return to the legitimate owners that
they will be able to resell them as used goods
or lead to recycling
and the producer’s interest in the
material is of good quality
to maintain its value in
time the objects we use every day
they are mines
even this bike the inner tubes
when they will be too old to be
repaired will still be useful to
marco and laura who will make bags
wallets belts that sell throughout
the world thanks to the web
I feel lucky because I live in one
time when a radical change is
at your fingertips you just have to want it
of you
we’ll thank you
